When people start going off about noobs and crap, they tend to be noobs themselves. I've been watching MMA for many years and I think it could be a great idea for DW to try to put this together. It has the potential of ending the PR problems this situation has caused and making them a mint. I don't think that's what DW has in mind, but it's not something keyboard commandos need to bash this guy for. Oh and sam cupitt, I like your idea in post #7. that would be a damn good TUF IMO as well. The idea’s a bit out there, but still a possibility.

Rampage/Couture would certainly be a great matchup although I would prefer that he stay at heavyweight. IMO it would put the title defense too far off, which is unfair to the current contenders.

I would agree with the majority that this is pretty idiotic , But for the obvious reasons like Jackson just beat Henderson pretty easy and hes a great wrestler with good striking too .. Couture doesnt have the same kinda striking , he can box yes but he doesnt have the KO power Henderson has .. They would be setting Couture up for a loss , also cutting weight at 45 cant be easy.

If Couture only has one, possibly two, big matches left in him, the UFC might as well swing for the fences if they can get him to agree to return.

And when has the UFC in recent history shown to be protective of their belts? How long has the WW title been put on ice because reality TV was a higher priority? And don’t even get me started on the lightweight division.

Have you even considered the possibility that Randy may drop the title regardless?

Dana is already hyping the caliber of big matchups we’ll see in ’08. Couture vs. Rampage is one of the biggest they can offer. It would be bigger than Couture vs. Nogueira and bigger than Rampage vs. Forrest — not that I wouldn’t mind seeing either fight.
